The partying U.S. Secret Service agents and officers who allegedly brought prostitutes into their Cartagena, Colombia hotel
rooms brought the call girls “into contact with sensitive security
information,” the Chair and ranking Democrat on the House Committee on
Oversight and Government Reform wrote to Mark J. Sullivan, the director
of the U.S. Secret Service today.

Sources tell ABC news that his was a reference to Sullivan, in a
Monday meeting with congressional investigators, expressing concern that
there was sensitive information in one or more of the rooms at the Hotel Caribe.

The charge is contained in a letter from Reps. Darrell Issa,
R-Calif., and Elijah Cummings, D-Md., who wrote to Sullivan today that
the “nation’s capacity to protect the President, the Vice President, and
visiting foreign leaders, among others, is dependent on the character
and judgment of the agents and officers of the U.S. Secret Service. The
actions of at least 11 agents and officers in Colombia last week showed
an alarming lack of both.

“The facts as you described them raised questions about the agency’s
culture,” the two congressmen write. “The incident in Cartagena is
troubling because Secret Service agents and officers made a range of bad
decisions, from drinking too much, to engaging with prostitutes, to
bringing foreign nationals into contact with sensitive security
information, to exposing themselves to blackmail and other forms of
potential compromise.”
